At 3D Towers, we are huge fans of Belvedere Premium Vodka so were delighted to taste their brand new range: Belvedere Organic Infusions. Welcome to three, super premium, 100% organic-certified vodkas, flavoured with complex, natural combinations of fruit and botanical infusions. With these vodkas, Belvedere continues to adhere to the strict Polska Vodka regulations, where an eclectic mix of flavourings include no artificial additives or synthetic ingredients. More distinct in flavour and layered than their previous Macerations, you can sip these alone or enjoy them in a range of serves. Choose from three stunning combinations: Fresh & Bright - Lemon & Basil with a Touch of Elderflower, Crisp & Zesty - Pear & Ginger with a drop of Linden Honey and Rich & Vibrant - Blackberry & Lemongrass with a hint of Sage. Below are our favourite takes on each Infusion.

Helena’s Choice: Belvedere Lemon & Basil Spritz

---

I love this spritz for its crisp and refreshing nature. It’s the perfect pick-you-up for a special brunch and the lemon and basil simply scream summer at any time of year. It works as an aperitif, a palate cleanser or even as a great drink for a green salad. Fill a large wine glass with ice and pour all ingredients into it. Stir gently and garnish with basil leaves and a slice of lemon.

Belvedere Lemon & Basil Spritz

Recipe

30ml (1oz) Belvedere Lemon & Basil Vodka

15ml (0.5 oz) Pressed Apple Juice

45ml (1.5 oz) Sparkling Water

30ml (1 oz) Dry, Sparkling White Wine

1 tsp Honey Water ( 1:1)

Lemon and basil to garnish

---

Aidy’s Choice: Belvedere Blackberry & Lemongrass Sour

---

I challenge anyone to find a cocktail that’s as easy on the eye as this! Tangy, creamy and zingy, this Blackberry & Lemongrass Sour combines rich fruit flavours with savoury, citrusy notes for a charming, complex, creation. Add all ingredients bar the garnish into a shaker without ice and give it all you’ve got for a minute. Next up, add cubed ice and do the same again before straining into a Nick & Nora or coupette glass. Garnish with the blackberries and mint spring. Cheers!

Belvedere Blackberry & Lemongrass Sour

Recipe

45ml (1.5 oz) Belvedere Blackberry & Lemongrass Vodka

25ml (.75 oz) Dry Vermouth

25ml (.75 oz) Egg White

25ml (.75 oz) Honey Water (1:1)

2 Fresh Blackberries & Mint spring to garnish

---

Colin’s Choice: Belvedere Pear & Ginger Collins

---

I’d quite like to rename this Colin’s Belvedere Pear & Ginger, but there you go! What I love about this fruity, refreshing number is how it combines ripe fruit notes with a kick of ginger and cooling cucumber. It’s quirky but utterly delicious. Pour the vodka, honey water, lemon juice and bitters into a highball glass over ice, then top up slowly with sparkling water and stir very gently to keep the bubbles. Add a cucumber ribbon and a straw and you’re all set. Cin cin!

Belvedere Pear & Ginger Collins

Recipe

40ml (1.25 oz) Belvedere Pear & Ginger Vodka

90ml (3 oz) Sparkling Water

15ml (.5 oz) Honey Water (1:1)

15ml (.5 oz) Fresh Lemon Juice

1 dash orange bitters

5 Easy Halloween Cocktails

With a good fancy dress costume, some spooky decorations and festive cocktails - a Halloween party is a sure fire success. Make sure your party is the one people keep talking about all year round with our excellent selection of Halloween cocktails that should keep the night rocking all the way into the witching hours!

 Dragon Blood Sangria

The Pinot Noir in this cocktail gives it the deep red colour that makes it just a little bit spooky… A big bowl of anything is a great idea at a Halloween party, as you can make it ahead of time and get it out of the fridge when everyone is ready to drink! It also means you don’t have to spend the whole evening in the kitchen, shaking or stirring away as everyone else does the Monster Mash (spoiler alert: it was a graveyard smash).

This recipe serves 8 but you can double or even triple the recipe for the number of guests you’re having/rounds you’ll be serving!

Ingredients (serves 8)
750ml Pinot Noir
60ml brandy
80ml raspberry liqueur
475ml cranberry juice
2 black plums cut into wedges
1 cup halved black grapes
1 cup blackberries
icing sugar to taste

Method
Add all ingredients into a large jug (or cauldron) and stir well. Taste the sangria, if it’s not sweet enough add 1-2 tablespoons of icing sugar. Let the sangria chill in the refrigerator for 4 hours. When ready to serve, ladle or pour into festive goblets!

Witch’s Brew

Over here at The Three Drinkers, we’re mad about colour changing gin. So mad, in fact, that we wrote a whole article about them! For this reason, and for their magical colour changing properties, we’re honouring them in a ‘Witch’s Brew’.  

However hard it is, don’t let anyone know that the gin is colour-changing beforehand, just say a few pseudo spells when pouring and watch as they are stunned at your mixology magic! The blue Curacao gives a beautiful ombre effect to this cocktail, one that will definitely get on some Instagram stories!

Ingredients
60ml colour changing gin
30ml lemon juice
30ml blue Curacao
raspberry hard seltzer 

Method
Fill a tall glass with crushed ice and add the blue Curacao and lemon juice. Make sure to do this in front of your guests, dramatically pour in the colour changing gin. Answer all the gasps with a knowing smile and top up with raspberry hard seltzer. Good job, you’re now officially the life of the party...

Zombie

The Zombie didn’t originate as a Halloween drink, but with that name and its amazing flavour, you know we couldn’t ignore this cocktail. The Zombie has been around since 1934, and the name supposedly comes from the hungover customer who requested the drink. Ouch! To make it a little more festive, we’ve added in some edible gold lustre dust to give it a beautiful shimmery quality and dazzle your guests.

Ingredients
25ml dark rum
25ml white rum
50ml lime juice
150ml pineapple juice
1tsp grenadine
½ tsp edible gold lustre dust
orange slice/maraschino cherry/sprig of mint garnish

Method
Pour all ingredients but the grenadine into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is icy. Strain into a tall glass with ice and slowly pour over the grenadine. Stir in the gold lustre dust and watch it swirl before garnishing with mint.

Pumpkin Spice Martini

The glory of the PSL (Pumpkin Spiced Latte) is back in town, with the famous syrup hitting every coffee shop on the high street. Bring some of those Autumn vibes inside with this Pumpkin Spice Martini that is perhaps more suited to a ‘chill’ Halloween party. However, don’t let that stop you from serving these any time of year (as long as you invite us)!

Don’t worry if you can’t find pumpkin spice syrup in a supermarket, it’s readily available online and not too expensive either. As it’s not alcoholic, you can also use this syrup in your coffee to make an at home PSL!  

Ingredients
60ml vanilla vodka
15ml cream liqueur
15ml Monin Pumpkin Spice Syrup
grated nutmeg 

Method
Add vodka and cream liqueur into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously until the shaker is icy. Grate nutmeg over the top for garnish and enjoy!

Find Monin Pumpkin Spice Syrup here: £10.25

Death in the Afternoon

The recipe for this bubbly green delight comes directly from Ernest Hemmingway himself. Yes, that’s right, in 1935 Hemmingway created this cocktail for a cocktail book with recipes from famous authors. How’s that for a fun fact! We’ve included his original instructions in our method so you can take it straight from the author!

But, why is this Halloween related…? Once you see this cocktail in action, you’ll know. The champagne bubbles mixing with the absinthe gives a wonderful, almost luminescent appearance to the cocktail that is reminiscent of an evil scientist’s lab! Spooky but also intellectual, ‘three to five’ of these sounds like a party in itself! 

Ingredients
45ml green absinthe
150ml Champagne 

Method
“Pour one jigger absinthe into a Champagne glass. Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly.” Grab an Ernest Hemmingway novel (we’re thinking Death in the Afternoon) and enjoy!

Best Halloween Cocktail Garnishes

Don’t fancy any of the above? Did you know you can turn your favourite cocktail into a fun Halloween drink by spooking up the garnish? Here are some ideas to try below…

Pumpkin Garnish
Get an orange and cut a circular slice. Get an apple, cut a slither off it and chop it into a stick shape making sure to have the green bit on top. Insert the apple into the middle of your orange and voila you’ve made yourself a pumpkin garnish!

Skewered Eyeball Garnish
The perfect garnish for a Bloody Mary! Get a radish and cut a hole in the centre of it. Stick a stuffed olive in the radish and then put a skewer through it.

Bloody Eyeball Garnish
A great Halloween garnish for a Martini, take a lychee and cut a hole in it. Then, put a blueberry into the hole you have made in the lychee. Pour cherry juice over the top, pop it in your glass and you have a nice floating bloody eyeball!

Best Whiskies To Invest In - October Whisky Investment Index

Springbank leaps forward.

Last month was all about Springbank. At auction, this distillery has excelled and pushed its way to the top of the board. Macallan is still up their but seems to be slowing down at the moment, Brora is still strong as is Bowmore, and the rest of the table stays pretty much as it was.

Springbank is a relatively small distillery in comparison to many, and really only produces about as much as the Springbank fans can consume. This leaves collectors and speculators picking up Springbank at auction and keeping the prices rising. Releases of Springbank sell out extremely quickly, like the “local barley” expression for example, and are then traded for a lot more than the retail value at auction. Even after they are picked up at auction the prices will still steadily rise.

Springbank 2%
Macallan 1%
Karuizawa 1.0%
Brora 2%
Bowmore 1.5%
The Dalmore 2%
Clynelish 2%
Rosebank Official Bottlings 1%
Ardbeg 1%
Glen Grant

Bottles to Watch

I recently highlighted Springbank bottles, and there are a few more I have found here. But with the rarity of Springbank at retail, it is really about keeping a keen eye on the auction sites and picking up bottles when they seem good value to you.

Springbank 12 Year Old Cask Strength

This expression sells out pretty quickly as Springbank at cask strength is well sought after. A good option for anyone starting out in collecting Springbank

ABV: 53.8%
Size: 750ml 
Find here: $159.99

Springbank 16 Year Old Local Barley

Another cask strength offering and this being the local barley expression, means that this is rare and will do very well in the future. There is very little of this expression produced as there is very little local barely to make the whisky.

ABV: 54.3%
Size: 750ml  

Springbank 19 Year Old Rechar Sherry

Cask strength with an unusual cask make up using casks which have been de-charred and then re-charred giving them one more use and they have a spicier flavour profile. With this expression being a little older, the price is higher, but then so might be the returns.

ABV: 58.6%
Size: 750ml

The next couple of expressions are very rare as they are older expressions from years ago.

Springbank 25 Year Old Millennium Collection

Released some time ago, this expression of Springbank has been steadily rising in value over the years. Hard to find even at auction, these bottles will always be wanted.

ABV: 46%
Size: 700ml
Find here: £3495

Longrow 1973 Natural Strength

Longrow is a peated expression distilled at the Springbank distillery. This one has been bottled by famous Italian independent bottler Samaroli. This bottler holds a great deal of respect, especially with older offerings like this one.

ABV: 53%
Size: 700ml
Find here: £6995

These are a few examples and always everything written in this article is just advice, but overall with Springbank, the annual releases which have an age statement and unusual cask maturation will do well, especially if they are at cask strength. Try and seek them out at retail when they first come on the market, otherwise, happy hunting at auction.

The Best Refreshing Mocktail Recipes

Let’s face it - a lot of the mocktail recipes out there are either A) for children, B) boring or c) super sweet and not appetising in the slightest. However, we’re here to save you from the disheartening internet searches by providing you with a list of some classy and refreshing mocktails that will allow you to enjoy your drink in style.

Crossip Pure - Pineapple Spritz

This mocktail highlights the hibiscus flavour of Crossip Pure with the addition of sharp pineapple juice and fragrant kombucha. The naturally sparkling kombucha gives a tangy finish to this mouthwatering mocktail you’ve just GOT to try!

Ingredients
25ml Crossip Pure
25ml pineapple juice
100ml kombucha
pineapple slice for garnish 

Method
Add all ingredients to a highball glass with ice and stir, stir, stir! Once combined, garnish with a slice of pineapple and enjoy!

Find Crossip Pure here: £22

Lyre’s Italian Spritz - Amalfi Spritz

If you’re looking for something refreshing, this is it! It’s citrusy, fun and will bring back fading memories of balmy summer evenings. Lyre’s Italian Spritz is a non-alcoholic alternative to Aperol, so if you drink one of these in the bath it’s basically the same as going to Venice (money saving hack complete). Enjoy!

Ingredients
60ml Lyre's Italian Spritz
60ml premium alcohol free prosecco
30ml soda water 

Method
Add all ingredients to a large wine glass and stir until combined. Add ice, get in the bath and enjoy! 

Find Lyre’s Italian Spritz here: £20.12 

New London Light - Radiance

What really brings this cocktail alive is its freshness, with the natural sweetness of the fresh apple juice and the fiery kick of ginger beer. Not only will you feel refreshed, but raring to go. As it's non-alcoholic, this citrusy and herbaceous cocktail can be drunk at any time of your choosing!

Ingredients
50ml New London Light
25ml fresh apple juice
ginger beer
oregano leaves
lime wheel for garnish 

Method
Add New London Light, fresh apple juice and oregano leaves into a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice and shake until icy cold. Strain into a highball glass, add ice and top up with good quality ginger beer. Carefully garnish with a lime wheel and enjoy!

Find New London Light here: £22.39

Bowser LEAF - Sober Club

This mocktail is a non-alcoholic version of a ‘Clover Club’ cocktail, which is why it’s called ‘Sober Club’. The fresh raspberries make for a bright shock of pink, with the lemon juice giving a tart edge for a fruity but sophisticated mocktail…

P.S: We’re also doing what’s called a ‘reverse dry shake’ with this mocktail - a mixology technique used to create the perfect foam for cocktails with egg white or aquafaba in. First all ingredients minus the egg white are shaken with ice until cold. Then, the ice is taken out using a julep strainer or ice tongs (though you could probably use a spoon as long as you don’t get rid of any liquid). Then, the egg is added and the cocktail is shaken WITHOUT ice. Phew. That was long. It does make a difference, though.

Ingredients

50ml Bowser LEAF
25ml fresh lemon juice
20ml sugar syrup
15ml egg whites (or aquafaba)
6/7 raspberries
raspberry for garnish 

Method
Muddle the raspberries in the bottom of a cocktail shaker and add the Bowser LEAF, lemon juice and sugar syrup. Do not add the egg white yet. Shake with ice until very cold. Using ice tongs, a julep strainer or a very careful spoon, remove the ice cubes from the shaker. Add in the egg white. If you want to make this cocktail vegan, use the juice from a can of chickpeas (otherwise known as aquafaba) in place of the egg white. Shake without ice for 15 seconds and strain into a coupe. Garnish with a raspberry and enjoy! 

Find Bowser LEAF here: £20 

FLUÈRE Smoked Agave - Noches Mexicana

Non alcoholic tequila alternatives don’t come along very often, but Fluère Smoked Agave is trying to be just that! This cocktail is a perfect way to enjoy the agave flavours of tequila along with sharp grapefruit juice and lime without having to drink any alcohol! If you want to be super fancy, you can torch the grapefruit wedge and place it on top of the drink for some smokey citrus aromas…

Ingredients

45ml  FLUÈRE Smoked Agave
50ml fresh grapefruit juice
50ml Soda water
15ml fresh lime juice
15ml Agave Syrup
pinch of salt
grapefruit wedge for garnish 

Method
Add all ingredients except for the soda water to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously. Double strain into a highball glass and add ice. Top up the glass with soda water and garnish with a grapefruit wedge. Enjoy!

Find FLUÈRE Smoked Agave here: £22

Cranberry Mojito

As we reach the halfway point between summer and Christmas, a Cranberry Mojito is the perfect way to bridge the gap between the two. Cranberry syrup is always a great idea, so make up a batch for yourself by using 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of cranberries. Simmer these on a medium heat for around 15 mins, let cool and strain into a reusable container. Yum!

Ingredients
30ml fresh orange juice
30ml cranberry syrup
30ml soda water
8 mint leaves
2 lemon wedges
fresh cranberries for garnish 

Method
Smash the mint leaves and lemon wedges in the bottom of a highball glass. Pour in the cranberry syrup and add ice to the glass. Pour over the fresh orange juice and top with sparkling water. Garnish with cranberries and enjoy!
